Thomas Goat will be playing Ibanez guitars and strings exclusively from now on. Ibanez showed interest and Goat took the bait. This doesn’t mean he will be polishing his Ibanez Iceman, by the way… Muchos gracias to our friends at Hoshino Benelux!

“This definitely is the icing on the cake. I’m very happy to be working together with Ibanez from now on. I’m proud and that’s an understatement!”

After being endorsed by Ludwig Drums, Tom Auf Der Axe now also plays Balbex drumsticks exclusively. The Czech stickmaker made a custom signature drumstick to celebrate the collaboration. A big thank you goes out to Patsticks, Balbex importer for the Benelux.

Tom’s very fond of his new drumsticks:“Before I started using Balbex, I used to break a lot of sticks. At first I was very skeptical about the fairly young company Balbex, but after trying them I’m more than convinced by the durability, playability and overall quality of these drumsticks. You should try ’em yourself!”

We love to do covers every now and then. We already did 2 out of 3 of our main inspirators, being Venom and The Misfits. Now it’s time for the third: Motörhead. We think this is the Motörhead song that suits us best, enjoy Sex & Death!
